Whatever findings they come up with, must be formalized to avoid non-determinism.

Draft an integration test of every finding.

The malicious extension makes calls to haxx0r.net? Draft a case in your integration test that intercepts this.

The idea of emulating a lightweight Alpine Linux in the browser to make this work, without overengineering don't-know-what custom niche solution is definitely intriguing.

I wonder how much work would it be to port a given Linux USB driver to WASM alone?

In the age of LLMs, vetting can even be done in a CI/CD. What's the big deal?

Is there no setfenv-like functionality in JavaScript (setfenv is Lua's way to set a sandboxed execution environment)? That's surprising. TIL.

I've been thinking of doing something similar AI-ran personalized TV channels, which basically would 'broadcast' the user's media collection, can produce news based on the user's interests, report weather, stock exchange information, all kinds of useful mini-bulletins, without any obvious AI-produced content. Maybe just radio-style announcements in between programmes (like they do in the UK for example), and the scheduling itself.

Oh? How very kind of the author to allow me to.

This needs to be higher

Is this a trick question? Of course. However Apple imposed artificial limitations, like disabling JIT.

So is it 5 minutes or 30 seconds then? And yes, you're missing out.

Docker images come in layers, which may or may not change depending on your release, and may or may not be shared across services.

Not mentioned in the article, but the latest generation Xbox and PlayStation run completely custom firmware with their own proprietary boot chains, and locked-down hardware. So much for the "uniform" x86-64 "ecosystem". I'm sure there are more examples.

...which is an extension of x86, the same way AArch64 is an extension of ARM.

I wonder if this is the future of "I need to run my legacy Windows enterprise app on modern hardware"?

I suppose we're also not limited to WinNT look and feel, and can render dialogs, buttons, windows with any CSS framework?

Although, as the cost of building software is tumbling down, it will make more sense to re-build from scratch, targeting whatever runtime or platform you need.

I wholeheartedly agree. Doesn't look organic at all. Guess it's the quality of Hacker News these days: blog spam.

I don't think people realize how crazy this all is (and might become)

You can't really be that naive, can you

Amazing Youtuber. Subscribed.

Not HTMX but Alpine.js has been a complete revelation to me. What clicked for me was that you're enhancing server-rendered HTML, not replacing it. Need a dropdown menu? Add x-data="{ open: false }" and you're done. Want to show/hide elements? x-show does exactly what you expect etc.

No bundler required, no compilation step.

Aren't you a ray of sunshine...

is there no vendor offering HDMI-in or Display Port-in?

We get these cheap recreations semi-regularly on here. Why does stuff like this keep being spammed on here, besides the nostalgia factor?

Why would someone in their right mind ever buy a Nintendo product?

What genre of comedy is this?

Excuse me, it took the auther 30-40 seconds (0m33.260s) to build the Linux kernel on an M2 with 32GB RAM? Surely that's a typo?

Why is this not flagged as spam?

examples of such features being?

can you elaborate?

> Windows 8 build 7861's PDF Reader

Was not aware there ever was a Win32 desktop PDF reader shipped by Microsoft.

This is one super weird acquisition
